Land for Children's Home Buoye, Kenya

Mzee (pictured below wearing hat) the head of the village donated land for a House of Hope for children on our last visit. Today we met with Pastor Paul Oselu who will oversee the project and Mzee. As we walked the grounds he decided to provide more land for the initial home and allow for further expansion with possibly a school or clinic. One of the children in the village recently died of asthma because they were too far from the hospital. We are beginning the process of completing the Engineering Ministry International application form to receive guidance on the project. The area is very beautiful with lots of aloe vera growing wild.


Margaret ministered to the ladies on the last trip and encouraged them to use the resources God put in their path to generate an income. Much to her surprise they showed up with some beautiful seed necklaces and bracelets. Samples are being brought back for the Houses of Hope store. The women and children are excited about making the necklaces and also some sisal baskets.


Mark shared with the church congregation the plan for the homes and also a garden to help the homes be self-sustaining in 5 years. As we partner with various churches we want to equip and raise prosperous disciples. Mark told the group, "it is better to teach a man to fish than to give a man a fish. If he learns to fish he can eat for a lifetime instead of just one day."

When asked "are you ready for the challenge?" They responded with clapping and cheering. Step by step we are seeing God open more doors to minister and give hope to the widows and orphans.
